Let's knit some really cute socks together

The Cranberry Spice Hat and Mittens are now availa The Cranberry Spice Hat and Mittens are now available! This collaboration with @expressionfiberarts has been so much fun, and I can't wait to see what you end up doing with your own versions of these designs. I'm about to cast on for a second set, and I know at least one of my testers knit more than one version of this hat, so be forewarned: once you start knitting them, it'll be hard to stop!
Knitting while drowsy is a dangerous proposition, Knitting while drowsy is a dangerous proposition, kids! The only way to really make this sock comfortably usable now is to do some surgery.
I talk to myself a lot while working on my designs I talk to myself a lot while working on my designs. Like, a lot a lot. Like, I'm not always comfortable working in public spaces because I never really know when I'm muttering out loud to myself. If I'm honest, sometimes these conversations with myself get a little chaotic. Here are some actual things I have thought to myself (and maybe muttered out loud) while working on writing my patterns. Because it's not the designing part that causes the headaches for me, most of the time. It's figuring out how to grade that design and then put it into usable, streamlined instructions.
Your fun fact for the day: an incunabulum is a cat Your fun fact for the day: an incunabulum is a category of book printed before 1501. It doesn't refer to a manuscript, which must be written by hand using a quill, but to books created so early in the printing era that they have become especially prized by collectors and scholars who study early printing. During the 1500s, as movable type began to take hold across Europe, the volume of printed books and pamphlets grew exponentially, so the value of those later books for some rare book collectors is lower. The Incunabulum Socks have alternating textured rows with eyelet zig-zags and 1x1 ribbing that remind me of boxes of typeset letters organized into rows. The socks are knit from the cuff down and graded to five sizes. A heel flap and gusset provide an adjustable fit.
